A proportion of this work will be service provision, providing solo cover for elective anaesthetic lists (with local consultant supervision). Excluding time spend on-call, your time will be 50% clinical and 50% non-clinical time.
Experience and familiarity with UK hospital systems and practices (as an anaesthetist), is essential.
